He buys them cheap and broken, beats them a bit on a lathe, and then rusts them himself. You can tell because ALL of his guns have the same patina. Go use translate the Cyrillic comments on the Makarov video and they explain how this being done: This guy buys old broken guns in the cheap, beats them up a bit to try to emulate additional pitting - with obvious lathe marks, and then synthetically rusts them - and he uses the same resulting technique on all, clearly. Thus a simple catalytic bath restores it 99% to the conditin it is when he bought it. This not the condition the base metal metal when be in with this amount of oxidation. Complete fraud.
EXACTLY! He buys these old badly damaged and broken gun super cheap, he beats them a bit on a lathe, and then rusts them himself. You can tell because ALL of his guns have the same patina.

Watched few videos. This should be called “collection preservation” or something. Definitely not “restoration”, as nothing was restored. I admire the effort though. The skill and sheer amount of work you put into it is impressive. Personally I would prefer if you just leave it bare steel so I can hang one on the wall as decor. If you do want to blue it, why don’t wear it up afterwards - that will make it look real battle worn.
Don't reset this educational video either. I'm someone who just can't seem to move on if you do that. Since I'm someone who sees other old-timer guns getting restored. No need to see things more than once.
the work of reconstructing the corroded steel is admirable, but precisely for this reason the lack of care for the rest, the trigger guard, the trigger itself, bolt and extractor, muzzle of the barrel, safety, disassembly lever and knurling of the bolt are perplexing they pity, and kill all the work done before, much more difficult. Are you bored? keep in mind that even the stock finish of the worst lugers was fantastic, if you restore it these things have to be taken care of.

Don't forget, most of these restorations are functionally dead on arrival. At least now they can be used as training aids or display pieces. Good job. I wouldn't want to fire any of them, unless you wanted to start a youtube channel on building your own prosthetic fingers.
He buys broken damaged guns, rusts them with the same chemicals every time (the same exact patina on all), and then "restores" them.
